Valerio in fourth place after first round of Florida State Match-Up

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Paola Valerio fired a one-under-par 71 to lead the 41st-ranked UTSA women's golf team at Friday's opening round of the Florida State Match-Up, which is being played at Southwood Golf Club (par 72/7,172 yards).

The senior from Mexico City, Mexico, carded a pair of birdies on the day and she is five shots off the pace set by first-round leader Rocio Sanchez Lobato of Georgia.

UTSA registered an opening-round 299 as a team and that is good for seventh place in the 12-team field. No. 16 Georgia (290) holds a one stroke lead over 33rd-ranked Tennessee and the Lady Bulldogs are five shots ahead of tournament host Florida State and Furman.
